Perhaps this has been answered already but 22d is M-V-ULE

[Mnemosyne]

Can anyone come up with an answer for 22d: Bifurcation in shoe tree''?(M?U?E) I can only think it is "moule" (mussel) which is a bivalve...but why shoe tree?!

[maurice]

The bifurcation is the symbol "V", the mule is the shoe!

..............and the Mvule is the tree (s.a.)!
